Since the above was written, a 10 bitcoin pledge was added:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1344583

bringing the total pledge to 195 bitcoins. That times the latest 13.3 USD/BTC price gives a total value of 2,594 USD. So the devcoin pledge has been added:

Edit: Because the number of generation shares has increased, the bounty has been increased to 24 shares.

Last time I updated some altcoins to a newer version of bitcoin code, I created a patch file afterward to record what I had had to change, it is merged_mining.patch, at https://sourceforge.net/projects/galacticmilieu/files/

Bitcoin code has changed a lot again since then so I doubt it would apply cleany to new versions of bitcoin. But basically all the altcoins that can be merged-mined need to be updated.

Basically a r3ecent but stable version of bitcoin needs to have the merged mining patches applied and a new diff taken to give us a new merged mining patch that works with recent bitcoin code, then the patch can be applied repeatedly, once per altcoin, adding also for each coin the changes other than the merged mining as secondary chain, that make it different from bitcoin. Diffs should be taken then too, to get a patch for each altcoin that shows how it differers from a vanilla bitcoin with a vanilla merged mining patch applied.

Possibly various chains might like to offer some bonus/reward for their own chain's part of such a task, and going forward maybe the first step for any of them should be to first update the generic merged mining patch and release it, before going on to apply it to each chain.

Devcoins price dipped on vircurex, goin cheap to turn around and sell at higher price in a few days when they go back up

devcoin windows build up to date (latest release of markm).

I found my missing qmake-qt4, it seems in upgrading to Fedora 17 it didn't give me qt-devel package, which now is qt-4 development package.

So I was able to do the qmake-qt4 to create a Makefile for the -qt version, and I added to its include and library paths my local dependencies dir so it could find my modified openssl that I custom made to include elliptic curve crypto that Fedora still does not distributed, and I added the -fpermissive that C++ now needs to make it ignore that fact that various things are not defined in the order that it now strongly prefers. I also had to add -mt suffix to the boost threads lib name, and add -ldl to the libs.

So now I have managed to compile the -qt version on Fedora 17.

I used it last month for a few days, but I couldnt tell what was and was not working, I will attempt again to get it functioning on windows though, I would prefer to use the p2pool though.

No one has used the pool for months so at end of November I announced it is closed instead of bothering to go through all the math with only me as user.

Thus I did not record the totals of each coin at end of month, thus cannot tell how much has been mined this month, so wouldn't now be able to know at end of this month how much to share out. The way to tell if it was working should have been simply the bitcoins p2pool would have sent you automatically, or the stats graph it creates per user.

p2pool is intended that people run it themselves anyway so if eventually people do get interested they can easily run it themselves it is almost trivially easy since it has support for merged mining built right in so just follow the instructions and presto your own personal p2pool with merged mining of as many coin types as you choose to tell it about. Plus you'd get to keep all the various kinds of coins, instead of being paid for them in devcoins like I was doing.

Excellent work. You are hereby awarded 2 shares from the devcoin block explorer bounty:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.937183

for the devcoin part:
http://darkgamex.ch:2751/chain/DevCoin

and you'll get 2/5 ongoing for as long as the devcoin explorer works.

There are two awards remaining in the devcoin block explorer bounty.

Markm, that would be awesome, would it be possible to setup a very basic webform to give out usernames/pw for each user so that we can track the mined btc/dvc/nmc etc on your pool? The only reason I am not using your pool right now is due to troubleshooting issues, I could not confirm if the mining was functioning properly through the webpage since I didnt have a login to check my workers. I would love to be able to login with an assigned user account and check on my workers, I would literally be on it all day every day in case a worker goes down.

What kind of patch? Some day we need anyway to try to apply the merged mining patches to a very recent copy of bitcoin, pretty much all merged mined coins will need to do that so figuring it out would benefit all of them.

Cool, ok will watch with anticipation. Keep up the great work killer/markm

im not working on devcoin's codebase, this is markm's stuff/job.
as i said, i will post here as soon its done.

I havent checked your download again yet, can you note if you already updated the devcoin qt for the icon/name? Also what are the chances you would be able to create a similar to bitcoind patched with devcoind patched so that we can start tweaking it to create sites that automate payouts similar to the bitcoin sites?

perfect

i can change that if neccessary, it would be BBQ because its barbeque

GRC? Hmm. Usually we have been using GRP to represent GRouPcoin.

Would you use BBQ, BBC, or BQC for barbeque coin if you had to fit it into three letters?

I was successfully able to track a transaction that I processed on the windows version of the devcoin qt.

Following Chains can be "browsed":

• DVC
• NMC
• IXC
• I0C
• GRC
• CLC

Problems:

• BTC cant be imported due to a bug, PPC not yet (patches), LTC maybe if someone wants it.

Future plans:

• Support every chain possible.

To support anonymity, all logfiles are automaticly safely deleted with shred every hour.

Thanks for reading before asking a question. I wish everyone did that


Since it is bitcoin related, it would go on the bitcoin share list rather than the devcoin share list. However, it is not part of the standard bitcoin client so you are not considered a bitcoin developer.


It does not qualify as is, because no one is using it.


So far the articles have been of good quality, no one has written wordy drivel. I write a lot, and it takes me about 9 hours to write a thousand words. In theory it's easy to write, in practice right now we only have three active writers.

If developers want more money, all they have to do is write about their project on devtome. Users always ask for more documentation, tutorials, etc.. If the developers give it to them on devtome, they will get more money and the users will make better use of the software.

Since there is interest in colored bitcoins, you could write about it on devtome and get devcoins that way.


The devcoin developers, Mark and I, get on the bitcoin share list as devcoin developers. Gweedo gets on the bitcoin share list as a devtome developer.


It's just that there are no other proposals that we can afford now. Setting up devtome took a lot of work and devcoins. If the capitalization rises, we'll be able to make other for-profit projects.

Boy get alive, your truth vision seems to be quite blurry, i wouldnt shout that loud, rather become more moderate, this is not the american black or white thing. Only cause it works different you throw standart phrases like comunism etc. in to this thread, i hardly doubt that you even have a clou what comunism is.

Devcoin works with democratic principles, but you just show with your bla that you simply dont understand what direct democracy is or how devcoin works.

Stop to taunt ppl now! And please never minine for devcoins, rucoin would fit mutch bether for you.
